On March 30th, the Stanford News published an article titled
Stanford students explore the vitality of the modern Esperanto
movement, detailing the research of students
Bri Mostoller and Angelica Previte, who “became fascinated with Esperanto
when they took a class in it at Stanford’s Bechtel International
Center.” [Could this be the class taught for many years by our own Trio
Universero? –Ed.]

[They] hope to fill a gap in existing research on Esperanto through their
work. Rather than study linguistic properties, they instead focused on the
community of Esperanto speakers. As ‘integrated observers,’ they sought to
paint a vivid portrait of Esperanto today. Though they hope their research
will garner interest from scholarly journals, Mostoller and Previte are
more eager to engage the Esperanto community and the public at large.

The project won the Department of Anthropology’s “Beagle II” award, a
travel grant for undergraduate student researchers.
